Harborside Animal Hospital

I just wanted to take a moment And write an absolute wonderful review about this veterinary Office! I was in Absolute panic when my two year-old French bulldog woke up, not eating, Acting extremely lethargic and my normal vet could not take him in because they were too. "busy", Which is absolute BS because they know I have insurance with their clinic, but this wonderful clinic took me in immediately because it was in walking distance of my apartment, I had no wait time! The staff was extremely friendly and kind!!! And I think I was in and out of there in less than 30 minutes, When normally at my other vet, I’m there for almost 3 ridiculous hours. Dr. Walk Was very kind, funny and sweet💞 With normally going to a vet just to walk in it’s usually just a little under $100….. And when everything was said and done, they respected the fact that I wanted to just take a little bit to make sure and wait it out, And see if he just needed some rest before making any rash decisions…. And they absolutely respected that, And the girl at the front gave me a coupon and I walked out of there seeing a veterinarian spending less than $40!!! Which is completely unheard of an amazing! So thank you to all of the staff and Dr Walk For putting my mind at ease, I would highly recommend seeing this vet’s office!! My boy is resting and feeling so much better

We are incredibly grateful for Harborside Animal Hospital and their amazing staff. Every interaction with every employee was filled with compassion, professionalism, and genuine care. During one of the hardest moments, having to put our sweet dog Oliver down- Dr. Garcia and her technician were extremely empathetic and supportive, helping us feel comforted and understood during a very emotional time. Additionally, last year Oliver underwent bladder stone removal surgery and Dr. Walk took the best care of him. This was his fourth removal surgery, and by far his best and easiest recovery even at an older age of 14. Oliver had his prior surgeries at different veterinary clinics and the difference in his precise incision, and mood was noticeable. The care and attention made all the difference. We highly recommend this clinic to anyone seeking exceptional veterinary care for their loved ones❤️

We were grateful that they were able to take our dog in right after we adopted her and help point us in the right direction with her care. However, the pricing is very high, and appointments often involve long waits, at least two hours between tests and paperwork. The main reason we continued coming for a year was because of Heather and Dr. Garcia, who were both wonderful. Unfortunately, our experiences with the rest of the staff, especially the front desk, were difficult. Overall, I’m thankful for the care they provided, but we have since found a better office.

The entire crew here is excellent. Dr Garcia has always understood the special needs of my blind and deaf dog, who also has a heart murmur. She has always listened, adjusted her diagnosis and medications to his needs, and doesn’t make the dog parent feel bad when we have to do unconventional things (Aka pill medication is extremely hard as his nose is too good.). Today we had to go in as Wally had scratched his face and it wasn’t healing well. It ended up being a far bigger issue than I was aware of. Still, they allow me to hold him for certain procedures- less stress to him- and did an excellent job with his care. Since he can’t have surgery due to his heart, she also came up with a full plan onf care for him and our follow ups. I have been with other vets in the area prior to Harborside, and know this is the best care around for my Walter. Take home care pictures in the review.

I’ve taken my Bailey to Harborside for nearly 10 years now. These doctors have saved her life more than once and I’m forever grateful for the care and compassion they give us. Regardless of the circumstance of my visit, I trust the doctors and staff to take care of my girl. Thank you for all you do!

They got us in very quickly when we realized our basset had a blockage in his intestines. The whole experience was incredible, they kept us updated every step of the way, the post op procedures are VERY detailed and help so much. They even reached out the next morning just to check on him and see how we were doing. The price was affordable especially for the urgency and type of the procedure that he needed. I’m so grateful for the awesome team they have working here. Worth the hour drive from Brandon area.

I would suggest arriving at least 15 minutes late for your appointment as you will not been seen until 30 minutes post your appointment time. Past 3 visits have all been the same 30- 45 min wait for a simple annual check up or heart worm test. Also don’t try to refill your dog’s heart worm, flea and tick as they will always find a reason you need an appointment prior to filling. Please visit this practice ONLY if you enjoy spending extended periods of time at the veterinarian…….
